[talk-ph] Grab street name edits

[Jherome Miguel]

I’m seeing that as well for M. dela Fuente, being mapped either as M. De La
Fuente, M. dela Fuente, and Dela Fuente, with two segments remaining
unchanged; I’ve since fixed them. There’s also problems with caps, with “de
la/dela” being in caps where they shouldn’t generally be (except at the
beginning of the name).

To make problems worse, there’s also lots of inconsistencies in names
posted in street name signs. In the case for Manila, there’s wide variation
in the street name on official street name signs as older signposts or
signs are often not taken down when new signs are placed; some use complete
names such as those on signposts erected during the Atienza, Lim and Isko
Moreno mayoralties, while some omit suffixes, such as in some signs erected
by some barangays (especially in a way to save costs on signage), and some
from the Erap mayoralty. With such a situation, I would look next into
business addresses, that tend to better agree with the most common form of
the name (though there would be still some inconsistency just as with
signposts).
